If you can tie a trilene knot in fishing line you can tie your own leaders with titanium.


Is using the Trilene knot the key to using this wire?
I read a few reviews and most said they loved the stuff like you do, but a couple said they couldn't get the knot to hold?
I'm assuming their not using a Trilene knot or don't tie it right?


There are tying instructions that come with the wire. The last wire I ordered called for a modified trilene style knot. Rather than 5-6 turns around the main line the tag end is wrapped only 2-3. And it does NOT cinch down like fishing line. It will seem as though it only cinches down half way but it holds and it works. I have not had a Knot fail so far.
It's possible that the latest orders for this wire come with different tying instructions, maybe something better was discovered. I would follow the instructions that come with the wire.
These cannot be easily tied in the field. Plan to do them ahead at home and use a lineman's pliers and a vise for clamping the work.
